Lecture – Cybercrime

Cybercrime is one of the fastest growing forms of transnational crime, with identity-related offences being the most common. Mr John Connolly of ILSTA, at the invitation of the Asian Law Students Association (ALSA), gave an open lecture on some of the key aspects of this issue. The interactive lecture looked at types of cybercrime and how it is carried out, as well as legal measures being enacted in Laos and around the world to combat the growing threat of cybercrime. The lecture outlined how individuals can stay safe online and was followed by group table discussions exploring further some of the key themes.
